Windows 10 comes with its own VPN client, which you can configure to quickly and securely access a private network on the internet.
The only caveat is that once you've saved your settings, there's no way to recover your password if you've forgotten it and need this information to establish a new connection on another device. However, you can use third-party tools, such as Dialupass, to quickly recover the saved password for all Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections.
In this guide, you will learn the steps to recover a saved password for a VPN connection in Windows 10.
How to recover the password of the VPN connection in Windows 10
To recover the password for a VPN connection configured in Windows 10, follow these steps:
Important: Although Dialupass works as advertised, it is still a third party tool provided "AS IS", without any warranties, and you should use it only at your own risk. The application author also warns that some antivirus may detect it as malicious, but this is a false positive warning.
Scroll down to the "Feedback" section and click the button Download Dialopass Connection.
Download the VPN password recovery tool Save the zip file to your device.
Double click on dialup.zip Archive, archive.
Click on Remove everything on the "Compressed Folder Tools" tab.
Unzip the dialuppass files (Optional) Specify a location to extract the files.
Check the Show extracted files when completed option.

Double click on dialup.exe Archive, archive.
Confirm the passwords for your VPN connections.
